Hi there

I have got 2 web pages both which display company reports but for different topics in real time and automaticaaly refresh, we want them to be displayed on a plasma screen in the call centre,
my question is, does anyone know how I can enable them to swap every so ofter, for instance display 1 report for 2 mins then swap to the other for 2 mins and then back again on an endless loop?

Your help is much appreciated in this matter

Kind Regards

Tim

These are the two links

Could you write them into the code for me and set them to 2 mins as I dont know Java Script?

Do you open the code in a seperate browser to the other two pages?

designed to rotate links in a page.
alter the one minute timing and point it at each page instead of making it a link.

Thanks Jaqui for the reply,

Just 2 questions about the code,
where do I put the amount of minutes required?
Also
Do I run this page as a seperate page to the other two?

Thanks

as for the time, I pulled this script from a generator, I don't know javascript either.

this is the entire content of the web page, it will call the report page and display it, or should.
you only need to copy this into your html editor and save with whatever title you want.

Jaqui,
I believe he wants the browser to reload an entirely different URL every two minutes. He can do this using a META tag, in the header, as shown below. The META tag in the second file would point back to the first one, and vice-versa. These pages will swap every 120 seconds in the same browser window.

Jaqui's

I copied the script into notepad and saved it as rotate.html
when I open the file in my browser it does nothing, do you know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Tim
